Summary
First up, we have Jonathan in MI, who claims to have solid evidence for god. For example, he takes it on faith that they found Jesus’ tomb and his cross still stands in Jerusalem. Faith is not a good pathway to truth. Work on your Google-fu, Jonathan.
Stephen in IL is up next. He was raised reform Jewish and is questioning if Jewish history and Hebrew school is right for his son, more for the culture of it. Our hosts are for religious history classes, just not the advocacy for a god.
Matthew from NC is next up. His dad had cancer and Matthew believes his father's faith gave him strength to make it through the ordeal and into experimental treatments. We shouldn't have to lie to ourselves to push through. Great topic caller!
RJ in CO is calling to argue that evolution is false and the Judeo-Christian theory is correct. He goes on to argue the origin of humans was in Sumeria. We end with an in-depth conversation about the tower of babel. Fascinating!
Jessica from VT has parents who think the world is ending and Jesus is coming back. Her parents have been trying to indoctrinate their grandchildren. Now Jessica is grappling with restricting access to her kids. Give yourself permission to set boundaries. Great advice, Seth!
The last call of the show, Mary in MN. She is terminally ill and finds people don't want to talk about death, yet she isn’t afraid to die. She has been living her best life the last 6 months. Matt looks forward to Mary calling back with updates. Great example of a rational mind facing death!

| 0:17.0 | And how are you holding down during the global pandemic and holding? |
| 0:20.0 | It's weird. |
| 0:21.0 | I don't know if you've had this conversation, but when you almost feel guilty because when |
| 0:24.6 | you work from home, it hasn't affected me in the way that it has negatively affected |
| 0:29.9 | so many other people. |
| 0:30.9 | So I almost feel like, I mean, yeah, we're not doing conventions and I miss, like, hanging |
| 0:35.4 | out with everybody. |
| 0:36.9 | But at the same time, I work from home. |
| 0:39.9 | I feel like I'm cheating a little bit. |
| 0:42.1 | So it's been all right. |

| 0:51.0 | Yeah. |
| 0:52.0 | I work from home too and it's been, I think the loneliness, the inability to connect |
| 0:57.9 | with people has been the biggest issue and there were a couple of days where I was like, |
